It’s everyone for your self dodgeball. The way the game starts is the winner of the previous round throws the ball up in the air and then it’s game on. If you get hit by the ball and it doesn’t hit anything before it hits you then you are out. If you catch the ball the player who threw it is out. Once you are out you sit where you were taken out. But you are still alive. Once you have to sit you cannot have your feet on the ground. You can be on your knees or on your butt. The game goes on until one person is left standing. They are the winner and get to serve the next round by throwing the ball up into the sky.

When the person is out they can still catch other players throws to get them out or they can protect other players and also throw the ball to get other people out.

Barrier Dodgeball – In this variation barriers are set out for players to be able to hide behind. I have used things like gym mats propped up on their sides, large cones, tables laid on their sides, chairs and refrigerator boxes. If you find that players are just hanging out behind a barrier then let them know they have to change barriers on the sound of the whistle. This gets them up and moving. Using large cones is good too since campers are still a bit exposed when they try to hide behind them.
